Dead Space 2 Officially Announced

Dead Space 2 Officially AnnouncedEA officially announced today that they are in fact developing Dead Space 2, the sequel to their surprise hit that was in contention for many people’s Game of the Year awards last year.

There were a lot of people that enjoyed playing the original Dead Space, me included. I was glad when I started hearing the rumors that Visceral Games was working on a sequel. Well, today EA officially announced it amid rumors that all but guaranteed it. EA’s Senior VP and Group General Manager Nick Earl said that Visceral Games is working on the project and that “Dead Space 2 is on target to deliver a jaw-dropping experience gamers won’t soon forget.” If it is anything like the original, I’m sure it will be just as great. Isaac Clarke is back again and the infection has continued to spread across the space. EA also promises that it will offer a “huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you”. Not much info other than these few teasers has been given so far. Check back for more information when we hear it.

No release date or window was given for Dead Space 2, but we do know it is being developed for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PC.
